text: REMOTE | MONETIZE AND RUN MY EMAIL LIST<p>Howdy, I have a nicely running content site which sells PDF plans.  I have done ZERO to develop or monetize the emails of customers and prospective customers.  I have emails from thousands of paying customers, and could easily generate emails from offering samples etc.<p>The site generates money but not enough for me to focus on it.  But I&#x27;d gladly give someone 100% of the first year revenue with a reasonable tail to create some sort of monetization strategy off of my emails.  Basically be the CEO of the email business.  First year you keep 100% of what you make, 2nd year some tail to be negotiated.   (Also same deal for any other incremental business you figure out how to run off the back of the site.)<p>This is not about technical know how (easily could hook it up to mailchimp or whatever.)  This is about developing the strategy and revenue stream to make any email strategy worthwhile.<p>email service at spidercarts.com if you&#x27;re interested!

text: Remote<p>Help our small development team expand our use of Gitlab!<p>A few things about our work:<p>* Heavy user of AWS platform services (like RDS, Elasticsearch Service, S3, Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda etc...)<p>* Backend components are almost exclusively built in Python. Exceptions to this would be cases where we are relying on non-Python based platforms, such as Elasticsearch.<p>* Frontend components are almost exclusively built as React webapps.<p>Before shifting work to Gitlab, we experimented with using AWS Codestar (which has fully managed build service, automated continuous delivery and deployments, etc...). It was extremely useful to be able to commit code and have that automatically kickoff a deployment so we could examine the changes from within the context of the application.<p>For the scope of this project, I would like your help with the following:<p>- Installation and configuration of Gitlab Enterprise on AWS, Including any integration required to enable automated deployments. This would include configuration of the AWS kubernetes service, etc...<p>- Guidance on how to best handle projects with heavy AWS dependencies - for example, would deploying a review app standup an entirely separate environment via CloudFormation? Or would we have dev&#x2F;test&#x2F;prod AWS assets setup ahead of time that the review apps would depend on (for example, if we were building an app atop the AWS Elasticsearch service).<p>- Guidance on how we can build application templates that may facilitate the process of beginning work on a new project. For example, CodeStar had several project templates to choose from (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;codestar&#x2F;latest&#x2F;userguide&#x2F;templates.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;codestar&#x2F;latest&#x2F;userguide&#x2F;templa...</a>).<p>- Any other expertise you can provide to help our team move through projects in a more efficient manner (across project management, development, testing, deployment, etc...).<p>Contact information:<p>email: tom@thegrif.net
